Publication number: 20220371300Abstract: Multiple layer interlayers having enhanced optical and acoustic properties are provided, along with methods of making and using the same. Interlayers as described herein may include at least two outer skin layers and an inner core layer, with one of the outer skin layers having a different thickness than the other at one or more locations along the interlayer. The multi-layer interlayer may also exhibit acoustic properties and, in some cases, may have an overall wedged thickness profile. Additionally, in some aspects, interlayers and laminates formed therefrom may also provide reduced infrared energy transmission, without sacrificing acoustic and/or optical performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2020Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: Solutia Inc.Inventors: Wenjie Chen, John Joseph D'Errico, Lora Lee Spangler, Gary Matis, Yalda Farhoudi, Bruce Edward Wade

Patent number: 10926516Abstract: Polymeric interlayers for use in making multiple layer panels having a unique balance of properties are provided. Single and multiple layer interlayers according to various embodiments of the present invention can be used to form multiple layer panels that exhibit both enhanced rigidity and improved impact resistance, while still retaining desirable optical performance. Interlayers and multiple layer panels of the present invention may be particularly suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including, for example, in many indoor and outdoor architectural and structural applications.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2017Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Solutia Inc.Inventors: Aristotelis Karagiannis, Yalda Farhoudi, Yinong Ma, Megan Lee Szlosek, Pu Zhang

Patent number: 10889087Abstract: A polyvinyl acetal poly(vinyl acetal), such as polyvinyl butyral, resin formulation, a method of extruding poly(vinyl acetal) resins, and related materials and products that provide for monolithic poly(vinyl acetal) sheets and glass panes having high Tg of at least 50° C. and high modulus at acceptable rates as indicated by their high melt flow index. This is made possible by a reduction in the amount of plasticizer while using a low molecular weight resin not to exceed 160,000 to obtain a thermoplastic resin having a high melt flow index and high Tg. The articles made with these monolithic interlayer sheets can be used in applications that require good modulus at outdoor temperatures.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2018Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Solatia Inc.Inventors: Aristotelis Karagiannis, Megan L.
